2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · WC04 ARA

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT test on 17 June 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the vehicle successfully addressed significant mechanical failures identified in the previous year. The transition from a failed 2025 test to a clean 2026 pass indicates that the owner is responsive to necessary repairs rather than allowing faults to persist or accumulate. At 102,607 miles, the Mercedes has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year over its thirteen years, which aligns perfectly with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with tests performed annually in June between 2023 and 2026. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion in older vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly, given the major failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring in June 2025. While this specific component was replaced, the tester should check the remaining springs for signs of fatigue or excessive corrosion. The exhaust system also warrants close- following the major leak recorded in 2025 to ensure the repair was secure and that no secondary leaks have developed at the manifold or hangers.
